European Road Safety Charter

IS-Lom s.r.o. Maglovec has become, within the COLAS group, a participant in the program of European Road Safety Charter.
The aim of this document of the European Union is to implement effective measures targeted at a reduction of the accident rate on European roads and a reduction of the number of fatal accidents by at least 50% until the year 2010. 

The signatories of the European Road Safety Charter have undertaken to contribute to accident prevention by the provision of training and information to drivers, by equipment and ergonomy of road vehicles as well as by an improvement of the road infrastructure that minimizes the risk of accident occurrence. The experts from the COLAS group actively participate in the development and improvement of the building of machines and equipment used on roads. Based on our proposals manufacturers have implemented many technical solutions, for instance, audio safety elements, additional rearview mirrors, and cameras.

Road safety has become part of our corporate culture. In the year 1997 the COLAS group undertook to reduce the accident rate by 25%, in 2001 the group renewed this undertaking and extended it by another 5%, and in the year 2004 our representatives signed the Charter for the third time.

We have been precisely monitoring and checking the adherence to the principles of occupational safety, operation, and parking of working machinery and equipment to prevent occurrence of accidents and injuries.
